You have now idea how dangerous!!! However, I now here and henceforth claim any 3L PS Silent Auction wines!!!

What we may have to do is see what's there for the Auction, and discuss who wants what the most (as well as which ones might be split among two or more). It was fun in the past splitting with one (Loweeel & some VR PS set) and more than one (Pedroncelli PS with Cheron, Loweeel, and tenuki (and others?).

Umm, I may have one or two foam case shipping boxes you could have. Then you don't need to bring them and worry about them on the flight out here.

"Worry" about empty shipping boxes? I don't even worry about the full ones we're going to be taking home. SWA takes good care of us. However, it will make life a bit easier. Thanks for the offer. We'll see how things are in February. We may have to make arrangements to transport large bottles of PS won at auction.

You still lose!!!

Besides, it's not like I'm not going to share them! 3L bottles are huge, plus I need to keep the vertical going (2005, 2006, 2007).

As long as you don't mind spending a lot, fine!

Just funny "You asked, and we listened...for the first time, we will have a coffee partner at Dark & Delicious. We are thrilled to announce that Catahoula Coffee Co will serve drip coffee and offer an espresso bar at our event!"

EDIT: For the benefit of anyone reading this thread for the first time, don't think this banter is anything but friendly. Sparky is one of my longest-standing woot buddies, and has been an honored guest in my home. But some of us who have been fairly regular contributors for quite a while still long for the old days of 30 page weekly pubs, when all kinds of fur would fly, all in good fun, and nearly everyone looking in would understand.

If I can make it work out, I'm going to give it a best effort. With $$ invested in a room, that improves. Still hoping too, to if Sparky has an empty seat...
Looking forward to another visit to Concannon.

I usually head up on Thursday, so I can visit family graves on Friday. Among other visits. Heading back on Monday, when we stop at Concannon.

So if you can leave Thursday, fine. And can afford another stop at Concannon!!!

Just a reminder that we have a separate thread for the D&D Weekend activities. Link is in the first post in this thread.

Please post in that thread if you will be joining us for any (or all) of those three days (Sat - Napa, Sun - Sonoma, Mon - Concannon).

Ddeuddeg & I would love to save some money on this deal! Sparky, would you please count us in on whatever you think is the best way to buy the tickets? I don't know how the groupies thing works exactly & I'm tied up with a big project @ work. We can Paypal you later or send you a check. Thanks!

May our love be like good wine, grow stronger as it grows older. ~ Old English Toast

Yes, this is only for today.

Not sure if this is better than PSgrouPieS rate, but it seems close for the group rate.

PSgrouPies get to go in early, between 5 and 6 pm, so if you don't (or can't) make the 5/5:30 pm entry, then this ticket is for you. Not sure how many PSgrouPieS tickets I'll be able to get when they tell me. But it might be
enough then.

I like to go in early and scope out the Silent Auction stuff. And food. Oh, and there might be some excellent wine there too!

Edit: So, if interested in this special CM group rate, post here. And once we reach 8, be prepared to PayPal me.

Good point. I will hold out for the grouPieS rate. We have a membership as well, if we end up needing more tickets.

At the bottom of the link that you posted to the CM deal it says, "DISCOUNTS for GrouPieS and Designated Driver available upon request. Call or Email." Don't know for sure when that takes effect.
